Synopsis

Five thousand years ago, a young magic student named Asley got tired of being mocked by his classmates for lacking talent. He decided to become a hermit researcher instead, keeping only his husky familiar Pochi as company. While experimenting one day, he accidentally created an elixir that granted eternal life to both of them. After millennia in isolation, Asley finally ventures back into civilization—and quickly realizes his magic skills are incredibly rare now. The craft has basically disappeared. With nothing better to do, he starts traveling and exploring this transformed world. Along the way he picks up companions and starts actually growing as a person for the first time in ages. But things aren't all peaceful. Dark forces are stirring, and it becomes clear the demon king is making a comeback. The problem is that people have stopped having faith in traditional heroes and religion altogether. Instead they're obsessed with worshipping the world's strongest fighters. This loss of belief has left humanity without the holy warriors they'd actually need to fight what's coming.
